VRCB generated on Thursday making new highs on the current move @ 108.87.

September Brent Crude seems relegated to playing second fiddle to WTI as it traded within its most narrow range in almost six months and has nearly lost the premium it has carried over the domestic oil for more than two years.

Should Brent be unable to push higher to at least $109.22 by Friday’s close, it will generate its second consecutive weekly VRCB formation which has previously signaled a possible end to current price movements and a correction may ensue.

Confirmation of a bottom with a range violation on 06/27/13 @ 96.18. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 06/27/13 @ 97.05. Upside Targets = 99.22 – 102.73

New highs made on the current move Thursday @ 108.43.

August WTI Crude Oil moved sharply higher after the reduction in volatility it had experienced over the previous four trading sessions to log its highest printed price since the 2012 highs were made.

After closing the premium spread between itself and Brent to less than $0.50 at one point during the session, WTI seems to be reasserting its dominance in the oil space and should continue upwards into the weekend just above $109.

Confirmation of a bottom with a range violation on 07/18/2013 @ 3.719. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 07/02/2013 @ 3.654. Upside Targets = 3.708 – 3.764.

Bullish EROVB generated on Thursday making new highs on the current move @ 3.835.

August Natural Gas exploded higher on a miss in supply injection expectations to make new highs for the month and trade up near the daily RBB.

After moving through the recent 61.8% Fib retracement value of 3.821 and being overbought by over 250% in terms of daily volatility, expect for natural gas to make an early push higher on Friday to impact the RBB and then move lower to close below $3.80 heading into the weekend.
